The program was devised to demonstrate a workable plan for extended use of school buildings, and to emphasize the role of
the school in creating a wholesome environment for children. Goals included--(1) a school day that provides for educational,
emotional, and physical development of children, (2) extension of the school day into a special after-school program for children
who need additional instruction, (3) extension of the school year to include a summer program, and (4) institution and development
of closer home-school-neighborhood relationships. Recent interest in the education of the disadvantaged prompted an assessment
of the program. Three schools were selected and experimental and control groups chose. No significant differences between
the two groups were found in reading achievement, scholastic aptitude, academic achievement, and verbal fluency. A followup
of performance in junior high school showed higher grades in hygiene and higher behavioral grades for the experimental group.
In the areas of personal and social development, teachers indicated more positive change in some behavior areas for experimental
children, who were found to participate more freely in group discussions. Teachers' attitudes were found to be positive toward
teaching and toward the disadvantaged cild. Measuring instruments and detailed responses to questionnaires are included in
the appendixes

Four minority groups are identified in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (eeoc) Employer Information Report: (1)
Negro; (2) Oriental; (3) American Indian; and (4) Spanish Surnamed Americans. Together, these groups in 1970 numbered about
34.5 million people, or about 17 percent of the population. This paper reports on the status of minority women and, in particular,
their status in the job market. A 1973 eeoc report showed that minority women are more underrepresented among "officials and
managers" than any other job category. On the other hand, these women are considerably overrepresented in the blue collar
categories andin "service work." Not suprisingly in 1972 the median income of minority women who worked full-time year-round
was $5,320 compared with $6,131 for white women. The unemployment rate among minority women is almost double that of white
women, and there is an especially severe unemployment rate (34.5 percent) among minority teenage women. Most other problems
of job status, however, seem to be external to the women themselves. Most of these problems have to do with discrimination
in hiring and promotion, low wages paid by employers, the lack of day care and other facilities for working women, and the
relatively high general levels of unemployment in the nation that strike women and minorities harder than others. (Author)
